Adds a hackathon page for Apache Arrow at Community over Code Glasgow 2026
(source/events/2026/community-over-code/arrow.md), following the project
page template.

Also updates the participating projects table in hackathon.md so the
Arrow row links to the new page.

TODO before marking ready for review:

  • Wait for other Arrow hackathon volunteers to review/update the page

can we add github.com/apache/arrow-go/issues as well?


To make the most of hackathon time, we recommend:

1. Clone the repo and get the build working: [setup instructions](https://arrow.apache.org/docs/developers/index.html)

Possibly also link to pkg.go.dev/github.com/apache/arrow-go/v18/ for those interested in contributing to the Go lib.

We're focusing on:

* **Good first issues** — small, well-scoped tasks suitable for new
contributors: [GitHub issues labeled "good first issue"](https://github.com/apache/arrow/issues?q=label%3A%22good+first+issue%22)

same comment as above, can we add the link for the "good first issue" label for arrow-go issues as well?

as you like — or link to a curated issue list. Indicate difficulty
levels where possible so participants can self-select. -->

should we mention that by virtue of the repo's we'll be working in, that contributors could also end up contributing to Parquet as well (since those libraries live in the Arrow repos) and that we're dealing with Arrow C++, PyArrow, AND Arrow Go as potential areas for people to contribute to?
